This paper investigates the effects of surgery on facial growth and morphology in Sri Lankan males with unilateral cleft lip and palate who were over 13 years of age at the time of study with cephalometry and dental study models. Three separate subgroups were analyzed: those who had totally unrepaired cleft lip and palate, those who received lip repair in infancy but not palatal repair, and those who had lip and palate repair in infancy. Twenty-three healthy noncleft Sri Lankan males over 13 years formed a control group from the same racial background. The results show that subjects who had no surgery had a potential for normal maxillary growth. Subjects who have had lip repair in early infancy show relatively normal maxillary growth, but maxillary hypoplasia is common when the palate has also been repaired early.
本文通过头影测量和牙齿模型研究，调查了手术对斯里兰卡单侧唇腭裂男性患者面部生长和形态的影响，这些患者在研究时年龄超过13岁。分析了三个不同的亚组：完全未修复唇腭裂的患者、婴儿期接受唇修复但未接受腭修复的患者，以及婴儿期接受唇腭裂修复的患者。23名年龄超过13岁的健康非腭裂斯里兰卡男性组成了具有相同种族背景的对照组。结果表明，未接受手术的受试者有上颌正常生长的潜力。婴儿期早期接受唇修复的受试者上颌生长相对正常，但早期同时修复腭部时，上颌发育不全很常见。
